CHICAGO. Dec 14-Before business began
on Change to-day predictions of lower prices,
with future breaks in the grain markets, were
made May wheat opened at 82sc, decline
from last nights close of a &C. There was
good buying from various sources at TINS price,
and May rose $3.50 in less than ten minutes
The buying was mostly by numerous sharp
scalpers who sold '.short" yesterday and took
advantage of the early weakness to even up
trades. In corn the May futures opened at
534c, with sales in the pit at the same time at o5c.
There was an unexpected good demand for stuff at
53c and ten minutes later May rose up to 53sc,
which was its closing figure yesterday May
pork opened unchanged at sl52o Heavy pur-
chasesof corn by two prominent local operators
advanced May $500 in the first half hour
The break at 1890 landed May corn at o23c
May pork broke from SIS % to S15.05. An hour
after the opening May sold at S15 and was weak
at that. The break continued, and May wheat
went down to 80 0823c. The lowest prices OF
the morning we're reached by both corn ana
wheat on the break directly after 1O:3U. AT that
time May wheat got down to 62002sc- Inere
was much excitement and SO much seling
when prices got down to this ngure tnas the
crowd found itself sshort before 1t kne" It. "A
few attempts to even up made the crowd quite
nervous, and values reacted. Before noon May
wheat back to 83c, and for q long time IL
held moderately steady around S2s S3c. May
corn got down to sac on the break, and it react
ed on covering by nervous ''shorts" The break
was largely brought about by heavy sales by a
Detroit plunger. The packers flooded the corn
pit also. just before the break, and helped the
decline for its influence on provisions At l2:3o
May corn was reasonably steady around 53sc,
but the crowd WAS ssill nervous. Provisi ons
were featurelsss. Any little demand would sand
prices mp trife, but they would drop off OF
themselves when the demand was withdrawn.

which there was free covering by "shorts."

For Harrison and Malone.

To tne Editor of the INDIANAPOLIS Journal:
The Republicans are discussing the availability
of divers persons for candidates for President
and Vice president. 1t seems to me with Cen
eral Harrison, of Indiana, at the head Of the
ticket and General Malone, of Virginia for the
second place thereon. success is assured Cen
eral Harrison needs no encomium. His reputa-
ton is national orator, soldier. statesman,
lawyer and honest man. General Malone
deserves well at our hands. His Repu blieanism
has been tested by lis continuous battles for
twenty years past against the Bourbon Democra-
CIV of Virginia. Beyond doubt he could carry
his State for ticket with his name thereon.
He is an honest statesman and fearless
man. His friends would see to it that all Re
publican votes were counted cast in Virginia.
He was one of the ablest officers in Lees army,
and at the surrender Mahone's division was in
the best shape. We want national Republican
ticket We have too long neglected our Repub-
lcan friends in Dixie Give us Harrison and
Malone, and victory Is ours.
